Abstract: Practice
relativism is the idea that practices are foundational for bodies
of activity and thought, and differ from one another in ways that
lead those who constitute the world in terms of them to incommensurable
or conflicting conclusions. It is true that practices are not criticizable
in any simple way because they are largely tacit and inaccessible.
But to make them relativistic one needs an added claim: that practices
are “normative”, or conceptual in character. It is argued
that this is not supportable by any explanatory necessity, and that
the differences in outcomes, though real, are not instances of relativism.
